A lot of Dwayne Johnson fans are staying tuned for the former WWE Champion's next big thing. The actor has once again proven the wonders he can do with his latest achievement, being known as People's Sexiest Man Alive for 2016.
This is not just an ordinary award because after 20 long years, someone who is not purely American was able to get this award. The Rock is half-Samoan and half-black, and he is the second to receive this award after Denzel Washington in 1996.
During an interview with People, he let out his initial reaction about the win. "I said, 'That's awesome.' And then what went through my mind was just how cool and exciting it is," Johnson told the magazine in a cover story. "And then I thought, 'Wow, we've pretty much reached the pinnacle.' I'm not quite too sure where we go from here. I've done it all, this is it."
Johnson's fans can celebrate with their favorite actor by watching "The Rock" make a debut as the "Sexiest Man Alive" on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show." According to the actor, loving his own skin took him a little time.
He took his time recalling all the tough times he went through before reaching his status today. He then talked about investing 10 years of his life in playing football only to find out that he wouldn't make it. His dreams of providing for his parents were shattered countless times before he found his niche in Hollywood.
Gone are the days when he found himself in possession of an estimate of $7 in cash. Today, "The Rock" is one of the highest paid actors in the business. He also gets to enjoy the perks of being loved for who he is as a person and as a professional in his field.
His "Baywatch" co-star Zac Efron recently tweeted a message telling the former wrestler that his personality is the most attractive and that underneath the rippling muscles is a caring heart. This came with a congratulations and a casual "love you dawg" message.
As expected, Johnson decided to give Efron some love back, tweeting: "Luv u back brotha and appreciate your kind words. For the record, your [bicep emoji] are 'rippling.' Mine are more in that jacked egg yolked space."
Johnson supporters can look forward to his upcoming Disney role or enjoy his amazing sexiest mannequin challenge.
